Looks like Black Widow has a new gig.

Scarlett Johansson, the actress who plays Black Widow in Marvel’s cinematic universe, has signed on to star in DreamWorks’ rendition of the popular Japanese anime “Ghost in the Shell,” according to Variety.

Johansson will presumably play the role of Major Motoko Kusanagi, the leader of Public Security Section 9, a counter-terrorism group comprised of former soldiers and law enforcement officers.

Set in a futuristic world in which cyber technology is used to alter and enhance the human body, “Ghost in the Shell” raises questions about the nature of consciousness and humanity.
